Wednesday night's performance will be a sojourn reflecting sounds through the deep dark cold of the winter night. A nebulous zone where our innermost thoughts can surface, fears and revelations bloom, and the hope of light to return shines once again.

In addition to my usual gear, I will be using my newest musical instrument this evening, Asus notebook. This will be my second performance (and the beginning of many more) using a computer as an instrument._________________ ElectroCasa

Episode 6 will be an interpretive walk through the cold, yet sobering feelings of abandonment, apprehension, and isolation; feelings and situations we all experience at some point in our lives that we must navigate through in one way or another.

For this improvisation, I will be using processed Vibraphone and percussion, itouch, QSR and JUNO synths, and field recordings_________________ ElectroCasa

Episode 7 is inspired from the Phillip K Dick novel, "Do Androids dream of electric Sheep?", which I recently read for the first time last week. The Penfield mood organ, which was left out of the movie "Blade Runner", is a device that can electronically regulate moods, emotions, and attitudes experienced by humans. The Penfield Wave Transmitter is the part of the device that directs energy waves into a person's brain, allowing them to experince a mood that can "dial up".

In the novel, it is a powerful psychological tool used to adjust oneself accordingly to the needs/demands/pressures of daily life. It was created, I would assume, out of the bleakness and hopelessness shared by most humans after the nuclear war. The Penfield mood organ was most likely named after Wilder Penfield who was a doctor in the early part of the twentieth century that became concerned with mapping the brain to the body, and a scientific basis for the existence of a human soul.

I enjoyed this visionary concept by Dick in the book. It was very interesting to me that such a device would have roots as a musical instrument and how that instrument plays such an important role in the lives of the characters.

Atmosphera 7 will be an hour long improvisation of my interpretation of the Penfield mood organ set to "Aware". In addition to colorful tones, I will be using some specific alpha and beta brain wave tones for relaxation and concentraion levels._________________ ElectroCasa

Tonight's show is inspired by the concept of unconditional love. To know and experience unconditional love is one of (if not THE greatest joy) in life. I have been very lucky in my life to have experienced and continue to experience unconditional love and I am so grateful for that.

This set is dedicated to my wonderful partner in life, my best friend, and my wife Teresa. _________________ ElectroCasa

Episode 9 will be an excursion into the nebulous and amorphous fields of sound. Mist is a phenomenon of small droplets suspended in air. Episode 9 will be an attempt to interpret this phenonmenon through light layers of sound, morphing and evolving as mist does.

I will be using a variety of instruments from the studio including my newly purchased Emu Proteus 2000 synth and some processed Vibraphone.

Atmosphera ~ Episode #10 "What doesn't Kill you will only make you Stronger"

Episode 10 of Atmosphera will be an improvisation based around the concept of poison/potion. Sometimes the worst things in the world can happen to us, which eventually reveal themselves to be some of the best things that could have happened to us. In tragedy, we can triumph. The most beautiful flowers can blossom and thrive in a pile of crap. Around every corner, we can find a new direction.

I hope you can join me this evening for another ambient excursion into the month of May!_________________ ElectroCasa

Tonights set will be an improvisation based around the idea that we are never truly alone. Even at our lowest most vulnerable point, it is always important to be aware that there always people that are by our side, even if they are not physically there.

I will be using the usual mix of synths that I normally employ. In addition, I hope to also add a bit of bowed percussion insturments with applied efx. Hope you can make it! _________________ ElectroCasa

Episode 12 will be a special dark ambient improvisation using a mix of hardware synthesizers and processed gong, cymbals, found sounds, and vibraphone. Below is a pic of the vibes and cymbals set up for the show.
